You Must Ask
You keep asking me the wrong question Your query is adjacent to what you want to ask But you can’t bring yourself to form the words My response continues to frustrate you It is truthful, but tangential This isn’t easy for either of us But I am not going to help you It isn’t my place If you want to know, you must ask No hidden meanings Behind euphemisms Around the corner Or behind the curtain I will answer honestly If you are brave enough to ask.
